The whole lot! (minus one that the wrapping got caught on the tape and i don't want to rip it)

So, soulsfiresgrace and I decided to do a "hubby" day, and although he wasn't supposed to open his until day 7, he talked me into letting him open his today since I have 12 more days of goodies..

First: an etched glass mug with "a zombie eating a dude's arm," and "Dawn of the Dead." This conversation actually happened: "omg babe! this is so cool! go get me a beer!" "ed it's 9 a.m." "AND?? this is so friggin awesome.. it needs beer in it!"

Such an awesome start to this swap! and soulsfiresgrace, hubby says "thankyouthankyouthankyou!"

Day 12:

woohoo! jewelry supplies!! i really love the little glass bottles and plan to make little holiday viles (one halloween and one christmas). most of this stuff has already had its fate decided

UPDATE! So, it would seem that there were two #12 packages.. honestly.. i have been spoiled and it's only the second day.

soulsfiresgrace made me some INSANELY AWESOME poly clay pendants. these pictures do no justice but my brother and i have spent the past half hour "oohing and aahhing"

All together: Included are brains, bones, bats, cats, cauldrons (with tentacles coming out!), ghosts, pumpkins, candies, and so much more!!

And a quick close up of some of the awesomeness!

Day 11: A great recipe journal (jam packed with halloween recipes that include drinks, coctails, entrees, and spooky treats), and an adorable potholder and coaster set featuring really awesome halloween fabric and spiderwebs (the coasters are reversible)

Day 10: today was doggie day! my dog foxy recieved a great package that included two new collars and a squeaky cheeseburger (which was immediately snatched up by our recently aquired chihuahua puppy)

foxy checking out her gift (that little pink and white blur is the new pup "pinky")

two new collars! one is purple with black and white spiderwebs, the other (which she is currently wearing) is pink with khaki and dark pink skulls

and i tried to get a picture of it on her but being a chow it's nearly impossible to see anything under that fluff... but.. she says thank you very much soulsfiresgrace!

Day 9: Candy day! hubby and i were on a road trip and munched candy all the way to vegas! also included were some cute band-aids and toys, and a chew bone for foxy

Day 8: An awesome monster pillow, with not one monster, but two!

Scary zombie monster side:

Not so scary mummy side (which is currently displayed proudly on the couch):

Day 7: ADDDVENTURE TIME! Soulsfiresgrace and I decided to do an Adventure Time themed day and she made me the most awesome stuffie ever!

Is it jake the dog?

No! It's finn the human! Being jake the dog for halloween

I've already gotten multiple "OMG I WANT"s out of friends i have shown this too. I LOVE IT!!

Day 6: Today was sewing day! I recieved tons of great fabric, buttons, and ribbon!My absolute favorites though are the coffin and tombstone. They're actually a pincushion (coffin) and needle book (tombstone) How clever! and I was in desperate need of both of those things!

Day 5: Hello Kitty Day!!

Everything came in this awesome halloween bag! there's lots of room and i'm planning on using it throughout the season!

Day 2: Some very adorable monster ornaments! The moon is my favorite. Hubby and I were talking about the man in the moon just the other night.... and not to sound like a total geek.. but it reminds me of the dirty bubble from spongebob.. but i think that just makes it even more awesome!

Day 1: Happy Halloween! and there's a zombie attack! a hello kitty zombie attack that is i recieved this awesome hk zombie stuffie and she's already partying with halloween finn! thank you so much soulsfiresgrace!

Day 12She totally spoiled my kiddos on their own special day!For my 2yo (almost 3) son. So thoughtful of her to send safety lollipops! And he just adores the puppets!

DAY 1

So so cool! I've always wanted a record bowl. It even has droolworthy Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd! And this cute Haunted house card!

Marianne, thank you so so much for being such a great swap partner! This is by far the best and most fun swap I've ever crafted/received. (no offense to any previous swap partners) You've become a really great friend and I hope we can do some more swaps together! Thanks again and Happy Halloween to all!

Make your own door knob hangers foam kit. I let the littles next door make them and they gave one to each of the elderly neighbors next to us. The littles are moving in a couple of weeks so the oldest, who's 5, said it was a going away gift from him :-) Thank you!
